3-Day Lalibela Churches Tour

Your journey to the spiritual heart of Ethiopia begins with your arrival in Lalibela, a town renowned for its extraordinary rock-hewn churches. After settling into your accommodation, enjoy a delicious Ethiopian lunch and prepare for your first glimpse of this ancient wonder. In the late afternoon, visit the first cluster of Lalibela's world-famous churches, intricately carved into the ground during the 12th and 13th centuries. These UNESCO World Heritage sites, such as the magnificent Bete Medhane Alem (House of the Savior of the World), showcase Ethiopia’s deep Christian heritage and architectural brilliance. End your day by witnessing a breathtaking sunset over the town, followed by a traditional Ethiopian dinner.

After breakfast, continue your exploration by visiting the Southern Cluster of Churches, which features equally remarkable rock-hewn structures.

Biete Amanuel – A former royal chapel adorned with intricate carvings.

Biete Abba Libanos – A church that is partially separated from the surrounding rock. Biete Gabriel-Rufael – Thought to have been a royal palace before it was converted into a church. Following lunch, take some time to explore local markets and traditional crafts at your leisure.

Start your day with breakfast in the morning before making your way to Lalibela Airport for your flight to Addis Ababa.

Depart from Lalibela at 13:10, arriving in Addis Ababa at 14:10. This will mark the end of the adventure.
